IMPORTANT
NOTES CONCERNING THE ALARM SYSTEM
Where climatic control is used in livestock buildings, breakdowns, malfunctions or faulty settings may cause
substantial damage and financial losses. It is therefore essential to install a separate, independent alarm
system, which monitors the house concurrently with the climate controller. According to EU directives
98/58/EU an alarm system must be installed in any house that is mechanically ventilated.
Please note that the product liability clause of SKOV A/S' general terms and conditions of sale and delivery
specifies that an alarm system must be installed.
Qualified personnel must perform installation, service and fault-finding of all electrical
equipment in accordance with the applicable national and international standard EN 60204-1 and
any other EU standards that are applicable in Europe.
The installation of a power supply isolator is required for each motor and power supply to
facilitate voltage-free work on the electrical equipment. SKOV A/S does not supply the power
supply isolator.

1.1 Selecting Components
Select components in the DOL 53X installation menu (Technical /
Setup / Installation).
It is not possible to select more components than there is
available I/O for.
You must therefore be aware of whether the production controller
accepts your wish to connect a component.
If missing I/O, you can:
•move around a little on some of the installed components
(see also section 3.2.2).
•uninstall components.
•install extra I/O modules (if these are available).
While functions are selected in the Installation and Show
connections setup menus, all alarms will be delayed. Thus, no
alarms will be generated until 2 minutes after the last change in
the installation menu.
This is indicated as info in the alarm menu for as long as the
delay is active.
This does not apply to alarms from CAN bus communication (I/O
modules).

1.1.2 Feed Weighers
1.1.2.1 Shared Feed Weigher (DOL 9940 or DOL 99B (drum weigher))
A feed weigher can be shared by two production controllers. One production controller is to be set up as the
controlling production controller. This means that this production controller controls the weigher's distribution
shutter (and silos). For this purpose, it uses a relay. Both production controllers use an input (sharing signal)
and a relay (request signal) to signal to each other whether or not they are currently using the feed weigher.

0 V. If the second house wishes to use the
weigher, the signal will increase to 10 V for
10 seconds every 2 minutes.
The shared signal is 10 V
Table 3: Signals for shared feed weigher
In addition, each DOL 53X has its own feed demand sensor, cross auger relay, cross auger sensor and silo
augers.
Furthermore, a number of silos are installed for each DOL 53X.
Please note:
-A shared feed weigher must be calibrated in both DOL 53X controllers (it is possible to copy the
calibration value from one DOL 53X to the other).

Technical Manual 13
DOL 535 • DOL 539
1.1.3 Shared Silo
The function Shared silo can only be used on farms where the production controllers are connected through a
LAN network and where the management program FarmOnline Explorer is used.
A silo that supplies feed to several houses should be regulated and divided by the production controllers in the
different houses.
When a silo is divided between different production controllers in such a way, the consumption/delivery for
one production controller is transferred to the others as a change in the current silo content.
The following common values apply:
1. Silo content. DOL 53X automatically reduces the silo content with an amount corresponding to the
animals' feed consumption.
2. The user adds the amount of feed delivered to one of the house controllers manually and the other
house controllers update the silo content automatically. However, the value of the amount of feed
delivered is only available in the delivery log on the house controller it was entered on.
3. Tare. The user can change the current silo content. It can be set to any value, but the function is most
often used to ensure that DOL 53X records an empty silo as having a silo content of 0.
The production controllers should be on the same LAN network. In the management program FarmOnline
Explorer, the production controller should be a part of the same configuration. This way they get access to data
from each other. See section 6.2 for the setup of the production controllers on a network and see the
FarmOnline Explorer Technical Manual for creating a configuration.
The workflow is as follows:
1. Connect the production controllers to the LAN network.
2. Create a configuration in FarmOnline Explorer, where the controllers are included.
3. Create and name the shared silo in one of the controllers.
4. Select the silo in the other controllers.
DOL 53X can manage up to five silos, that can all be used as a shared silo. The setup of silos should be carried
out in all the connected controllers.
First select the number of silos and then, in the menu
Shared silo, which silos that should be shared with another
controller.
Select the silo to be shared.

14 Technical Manual
DOL 535 • DOL 539
Set the silo to being shared (create silo).
This is done by naming it.
The name of a shared silo should be unique at the farm to
make it possible to tell the silos apart.
When a shared silo has been created, is should be selected
from the other controllers to set up the connection between
them.
The shared silo with the new name is displayed in the
production menu.
1.1.4 Electronic silo weigher (DOL 199)
Start by selecting Electronic silo weigher followed by the number of silo weighing modules (Silos for feed
weigher).
On farms with two silos and only one physical silo auger, select Electronic silo weigher common auger.
1.1.5 Water
1.1.5.1 Water meter
By selecting a relay for a water meter, it is possible to shut off the
water in the event of excessive water usage.
The relay cannot be activated in the event of power failure. In this
case the water will be switched on.
1.1.5.2 Water level
The installation of water level sensor is only possible when the
controller communicates using the CANopen protocol. See the
menu Installation/ I/O modules/ CAN protocol and the document
Circuit Diagram and Cable Plans.
In addition to the water level sensors, also install I/O modules of
the type DOL 100 Water.

Technical Manual 15
DOL 535 • DOL 539
1.1.6 Light Control
The light control in DOL 53X consists of three different types of light: primary light, slave light and inspection
light. The primary and slave light can be fitted with a light dimmer.
In addition, a light colour control can be selected, which makes it possible to change the colour of the light and
therefore simulate the changing colours of the sunlight.
1.1.6.1 Active Functions when the Control Fails
Yes: When the control fails, the light is on.
No: When the control fails, the light is off.
1.1.6.2 Light dimmer
Dawn/dusk lighting can be simulated in one or two steps by selecting a light source with light-dimming.
The light dimmer can be installed with or without a relay.
Light dimmers with relays are used in houses where the light source used cannot be switched off by means of
the dimmer alone.
1.1.6.3 Slave Light
The slave light function is used to control equipment in the house, which must be controlled in relation to the
main light. This may for example be openings for exit hatches, access to nests or other light sources in the
house.
Slave lights can be regulated to turn on/off, offset in relation to the
main light.
The offset can be set with a start and stop offset for each slave
light.
1.1.6.4 Light Sensor
When using a light dimmer, the light can be controlled by up to
five light sensors.
When more light sensors are connected to the same light source,
regulation is carried out according to an average sensor value.
The light sensors are also used for alarming purposes.
Select which sensor type to use.
When Another sensor is selected then it must be calibrated. See
section 3.1.

16 Technical Manual
DOL 535 • DOL 539
1.2 Connecting Components
Most of the connection terminals are universal. Different components can therefore be installed using the
individual terminals.
When you select a component from the menu Technical/ Setup/ Installation, DOL 53X allocates I/O on the basis
of a list. This means that DOL 53X selects the first available I/O on the list, and that the components are
allocated I/O in the order they are selected.
Example 1: Eamples of diverse installation sequences
The same I/O allocation in several controllers, i.e. the individual components are connected to the same
terminal numbers, is obtained by saving the setup on a USB stick and load it in the other controllers. See
section 0.
1.2.1 Menu for Show Connection
When you have selected all the components in the installation
menu, the controller will show you where to connect the
individual components.
See the Show connection menu for where exactly to connect the
individual components.
When a wiring diagram in the document DOL 53X Circuit Diagram and Cable Plans says “See Show
connection”, it refers to this menu.

Technical Manual 17
DOL 535 • DOL 539
1.2.2 Manual I/O Allocation
If you want to choose the I/O allocation for one or more components yourself, you can change this manually
under the menu item Manual I/O allocation.
In the Technical/ Setup/ Manual I/O allocation menu, press the
component to be changed.
The current I/O allocation is shown in large bold type.
Choose between the listed terminals:
Red The terminal is currently allocated to another function
Black The terminal is not in use
Select the required terminal.
If you use a terminal that is currently used by another function (indicated by *), DOL 53X will automatically
change the I/O allocation for this function.
Check in the menu Show connection that DOL 53X allocates the first allocated function to another terminal.
DOL 53X will not change the I/O allocation until you approve
it.
If the I/O allocation can be changed, DOL 53X will accept it.
If the I/O allocation cannot be changed, DOL 53X will reject it
and the allocation will remain unchanged.
